...as to direct me to the link with the instructions for repairing 
older (1974 240D) clocks? Everything else in the cluster works like 
new after I jumpered the rheostat, reset the glass retainer, and 
superglued the odometer.  BTW, this is the third car  on which I have 
used the superglue fix, and each time it has worked great.


Tick-tock clock?  I have no link, but they're easy to open.  Three nuts
on the back, one usually under some tamper-proof cap you have to tear
off unless it's already done.  Then you find that the special low-temp
solder has released the spring-loaded circuit breaker arm.  Solder it
back, not using new solder unless you have more of the low-temp stuff.
Then proceed to do a usual clock CLA.  If you're any good, it'll be
back to life.  If you're not, it won't work right.  Either at all, or
just when it gets cold.  BTDT!

I've had the light come back on with the 85 300D. It turned out to be a 
defective GP relay. It literally was filled with water; the o-ring bwtween the 
halves had cracked and water had seeped in over the years.  There was literally 
half a cup of water in it.

 Hello all, 
 
 Looking for some list wisdom. 
 
 What does it mean when the glow plug light won't go out? 
 
 My 85 300SD light often stays lit until the car starts. I wait the usual 
 number of seconds (I have another 300SD), before starting it. 
 
 Lately the light will come back on after the car has been running for a 
 few seconds. I turn the engine off and restart it, waiting a bit longer 
 than before, and the light will go out when the engine starts. Sometimes have 
 to 
 repeat this process a three or four times. 
 
 The engine always starts promptly. 
 
 Thanks,

superglued the odometer.

How does this work?  Do you put the superglue on the affected shaft/gear?
